II is perhaps not generally known
that town ordinance No. % compels loi
owners to have their grounds surveyed
and the corners and lines established be.
fore fencing or erecting any building
thereon. Such is the case, however,
and it would be well to comply with the
law, and avoid tho possibility OF Itiga-
ton and perhaps q fine. The fees for
surveying lot are small and matter
OF SO much Importance should mot be
disregarded on account OF The expense Of
establishing the legal Boundaries. Sec
ton of the ordinance referred to reads
as follows:
SECTION 5. Before any person. or pen.
sons shall commence the erection of any
building, or any brick, stone or iron
fence upon the line Of any street.. alley
or public way, snch person or persons
shall notify the official engineer to sur
vey the premises upon which such bull
ding or fence is about to be constructed,
and it shall be the dnty Of the engineer
to furnish such person or persons with
the lines upon which such building or
fence is to be constructed and If any per-
son shall violate the provisions OF this
section, he shall upon conviction be
fined In any sum not less than So and
nor more than 80.

HALLS

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incureble.
For great many years Doctors pro-
nounced it local disease, and pre-
scribed local remedies and by constant
ly failing to cure with local treatment
pronounced it incurable. Science has
proven Catarrh to be constitutional
disease, and therefore requires con-
stitutIonal treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney &
Co., Toledo, Ohio. Is the only constitu-
tional cure now on the market. 1t is
taken internally in doses from 10 drops
20 a teasp0onful. 1t acts directly upon
the blood and mucus surfaces of the
system. They offer one hundred dol
lars for any case it fails to cure. Send
for circular and testimonials. Address,

ii. G.. ROVER,
GEO. Il. HAISEs,

There is considerable discussion as
| to the practicability ot taking the turn
pike off the hands of the company
which controls the same at present, and
change it into township roads. We
hold that the proposition is good one.
Townships and borou9hs are surely
able aud willing to keep the turnpike
roa,t Haas decent ~con1ftfon rs rneir
own roads are generally kept and 1t
would naturally be To their own and
the taxpayers interest to do the work
as cheaply as possible. We fail TO see
reasonable cause why turnpikes
should be in the hands of few men,
who form company for the apparent
purpose of speculating with the enter
prise. The public roads are for the &C.
comodation of the people and the peo-
pie we think would be fully able TO
manage the repairs and work on such
roads. Our Smith Town correspondent
has few words to say on the subject
this week. The columns Of the JOUR-
NAL will as heretofore be open for fair
and decent discussion OF the subject.

SMITH TOWN.

Last week JOURNAL was jammed full
OF local news and correspondence, making
il "A newspaper in the strictest sense of the
word. What we like about il is, that, po-
litical campaign or not, its local columns
are always brimful of news.
Mrs. Anna Frank, of Millheim, has been
visiting at her sons O.. II. Frank resi-.
dence for the past three weeks.
Mrs. Ney, of Aaronsburg, the twin sister
OF Mrs. Frank, is also visiting in our midst.
\ number of our folks slaughtered their
porkers last week and as many follow suit
this week. The hog cholera hurries up the
butchering season this year.

on dog three weeks old. The trading

jockey, +. Albright. Who was quashed
William " must have some attrac-
ton at the white house. And lie don't
want others TO be in the dark abont il
either, for he never returns until broad day
light.
Miss Lizzie Bierly, Of Madisonburg, is
assisting her sister Alice in this place, in
her work.
Since nearly all our farmers are obliged
to haul wafer from the public watering
place it strikes us that the fence is about 6
or ieet out over the line. w nen n man
has his team at the trough for the purpose
of loading water, q job which occupies from
one TO two hours, il is impossible for n big
wagon to pass. The supervisors should see
to this matter at once.
The question whether or not we will have
turnpike monopoly any longer has arisen
in the minds of the people, and II is ques-
ton which bears discussion every time. We
for one agree with our friend who started
the subject in last week. JOURNAL. Turn
pixies prove a nuisance to our people here,
in rs much as we must pay heavy road
taxes and still have TO pay exhorhitant toll
when we wish TO go away. Smith Town
and Millheim people, whether they want TO
go To Aaronsburg or To Penn Hall, or To the
railroad station, or 10 Brushvalley, must
pay heavy toll, and all the while have
their full share of road taxes TO pay. Now
if the turnpike running east and west were
township road, Penn township could and
would have il in better condition than it is
now. That is, Penn township would do it's
share with $40 or Sl5eXpense year, ,averag-
ing from 10 10 cts. outlay for each taXpay-
er. And that would do away with the toll
gates and give man chance to drive a.
long without having to stop every few miles
to satisfy the demands of the hungry turn
pike company. So much for this time
Hope TO hear from others. JUMBO.
